I mind reading somewhere about a company in Grimsby that operated anchor seiners called "The Clythness Fishing Company" Has anyone ever heard of them or know anything about their history???

I saw you mention Clythness and it brought fond memories of home and I note from your profile that you reside at Sarclet which I have visited a few times. My grandfather would probably fished out of there when he was a boy. He resided at Roadside Thrumster and he is buried in the Cemetry there - his name was the same as mine - John Campbell.
Best regards to Caithness - I am coming up to see the flotilla on the 24th if all goeswell.
